Department for Transport
12 May 2016, Central government
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Department for Transport (DfT) for a copy of the Appeals Criteria Document used by the Independent Appeals Service when assessing appeals against penalty fares issued by Train Operating Companies. The DfT refused the request under the exemptions in section 31(1)(c) (law enforcement), section 41 (information provided in confidence), section 43(2) (commercial interests) and section 44 (prohibitions on disclosure). The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 44 of FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 44: Not upheld
